St Peter's Curriculum

Our curriculum is designed to enable all pupils to experience high-quality learning and to grow into unique and knowledgeable young adults, with opportunities to develop as thoughtful, caring, serving members of both our school and the wider community. Our ethos aims to equip them with sound moral values, ready to play their part in making our future better. We aim to give all pupils a broad and balanced education and equality of access to opportunities. We believe in a rich offer across all subjects in KS3 to provide a wide range of knowledge and experiences. It is important to us that all pupils have a strong foundation in a broad range of subjects including the Humanities, Languages, Arts and practical subjects whether or not they pursue these to examinations. We also believe that a strong Curriculum for Life is essential to develop the skills, values and understanding to make informed choices throughout life.

In KS4, we want all pupils to have access to a solid academic core and the ability to shape their curriculum to respond to their interests and aptitudes. Given the ability profile of a high proportion of our pupils, we consider it paramount that we give access to a broad range of post-16 choices including a diverse range of A levels.

Each subject page will show you what is studied during the 5 years pupils are with us, along with staffing, specifications and any external resources used.
